The amount of energy required to heat water for a 10-minute shower (50 gallons) is 2.2125 kJ. How many calories is this

1 answer:

6 0

First, we convert the given amount of energy into joules.
1 kJ = 1000 joules
2.2125 kJ = 2,212.5 Joules

Each kilocalorie contains 4,184 Joules
Kilocalories = 2,212.5 / 4,182
Kilocalories = 0.529
1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

0.529 kilocalories = 529 calories

a closed flask of air (0.250 L) contains 5.00 "puffs" of particles. The pressure probe on the flask reads 93 kPa. A student uses

Sergio039 [100]

Answer: New pressure inside the flask would be 148.8 kPa.

Explanation: The combined gas law equation is given by:

$PV=nRT$

As the flask is a closed flask, so the volume remains constant. Temperature is constant also.

So, the relation between pressure and number of moles becomes

$P=n\\or\\\frac{P}{n}=constant$

$\frac{P_1}{n_1}=\frac{P_2}{n_2}$

Initial conditions:

$P_1=93kPa\\n_1=5\text{ puffs}$

Final conditions: When additional 3 puffs of air is added

$P_2=?kPa\\n_2=8\text{ puffs}$

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

$\frac{93}{5}=\frac{P_2}{8}\\P_2=148.8kPa$

The equation below represents a double replacement/displacement reaction;

Naddik [55]

AB+XY->AY+XB
We know that the answer would be KCl because of the switching that takes place during a double displacement reaction. Just like Zn and MnO4 switched and combined, the remaining elements, K and Cl, will combine.
We know that the answer is simply KCl because both K and Cl have an ion of only +/-1, meaning when they cross, no suffixes are made, since their ions are only 1.
For example, if you combined Mg with Cl, you would get MgCl2, because Mg has an ion of +2.
I hope this helps!

the equation demonstrates a reaction of sodium chloride and fluorine. 2NaCl+F2=2NaF+Cl2. in order for the reaction to proceed, f

slamgirl [31]

Answer: You would need 1 mole of Fluorine

Explanation:The equation is already balanced so just looking at the coefficients in the equation we can see that Sodium Chloride (2NaCl) needs two moles for this equation and fluorine (F2) only needs one.

A reaction of importance in the formation of smog is that between ozone and nitrogen monoxide described by O 3 ( g ) + NO ( g )

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a) 7.11x10⁻⁴ M/s

(b) 2.56 mol.L⁻¹.h⁻¹

Explanation:

(a) The reaction is:

O₃(g) + NO(g) → O₂(g) + NO₂(g) (1)

The reaction rate of equation (1) is given by:

$rate = k*[O_{3}][NO]$ (2)

k: is the rate constant of reaction = 3.91x10⁶ M⁻¹.s⁻¹

[O₃]₀ = 2.35x10⁻⁶ M

[NO]₀ = 7.74x10⁻⁵ M

Hence, to find the inital reacion rate we will use equation (2):

$rate = k*[O_{3}]_{0}[NO]_{0} = 3.91 \cdot 10^{6} M^{-1}s^{-1}*2.35\cdot 10^{-6} M*7.74 \cdot 10^{-5} M = 7.11 \cdot 10^{-4} M/s$

Therefore, the inital reaction rate is 7.11x10⁻⁴ M/s

(b) The number of moles of NO₂(g) produced per hour per liter of air is:

t = 1 h

V = 1 L

$\frac{\Delta[NO_{2}]}{\Delta t} = rate$

$\frac{\Delta[NO_{2}]}{\Delta t} = 7.11 \cdot 10^{-4} M/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h} = 2.56 mol.L^{-1}.h{-1}$

Hence, the number of moles of NO₂(g) produced per hour per liter of air is 2.56 mol.L⁻¹.h⁻¹

I hope it helps you!
